Obiettivi formativi del corso

Marketing significa apprendere cosa sia il valore, come esso si generi e come si trasferisca al cliente, in modo profittevole e sostenibile. Il Marketing è l’interfaccia privilegiata del dialogo impresa-cliente e il ponte fra le varie funzioni aziendali (finanza, R&D, produzione, risorse umane). Ponendo il cliente al centro dei processi aziendali, il Marketing contribuisce allo sviluppo economico, sociale e culturale della collettività, delle imprese e delle persone.

La struttura del corso ripercorre il flusso di valore dall’impresa al cliente, attraverso tre passaggi fondamentali:

  • Upstream Marketing: la ricerca delle fonti del valore. Analisi del valore per il cliente e dell’ambiente competitivo.
  • Downstream Marketing: la generazione del valore: 
    • progettazione, creazione e trasferimento di valore al cliente;
    • innovazione del valore: attivazione di nuovi mercati e nuove proposizioni di valore. 
  • Marketing dashboard: le metriche per misurare i risultati e i contributi degli investimenti di Marketing.

Obiettivo del corso è stimolare, coadiuvare e guidare l’apprendimento del discente affinché possa:

  • distinguere le peculiarità del Marketing e il suo contributo all’impresa, al cliente e alla società;
  • assumere la centralità del cliente come filosofia gestionale essenziale per l’azienda;
  • comprendere il metodo strategico e gli strumenti operativi del Marketing;
  • sperimentare, almeno a livello elementare, l’applicazione degli strumenti gestionali del Marketing;
  • individuare percorsi di futuro approfondimento nel Marketing e di crescita professionale nell’ambito del Marketing.

The course is designed to provide a broad understanding of marketing management and the role of marketing in the society.
